Do you need an ExEdi V-P?

The St Louis Symphony has started the year by appointing a Vice President of External Affairs and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.

Dr Yolanda “Yoli” Alovor ‘brings a wealth of experience in EDI implementation and community partnership development. Most recently, she served as the Chief of Staff and Vice President of Diversity and Belonging at Rosemont College in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, where she guided complex and confidential management in support of the strategic mission of the college, provided critical insight for campus projects, and led Diversity and Belonging initiatives that helped drive business and administrative functions. In her leadership role, she led grassroots efforts with internal and external collaborators to build the college’s first Diversity and Belonging Department and campus strategic plan. She also launched leadership initiatives to foster belonging and managed internal and external communications.’

Every US orchestra now needs an EDI v-p.
